11/22/2021 8:50:15 AMHi WM1, great report, thank you! Can you please tell what approximate depth were you fishing? Also, do you use some heavy blade baits? I'm very new to Columbia fishing, and I don't know much about weight/rig of the blade bait for current and big depth. I've only fished on lakes with max depth of 50 - 60 ft, not sure the same rig will work for spokane confluence area right now. Thank you!

11/22/2021 4:50:04 PMRon, I use 5/8 oz blade baits and 7/8 oz jigging raps. This time of year we fish in 20 to 70 fow depending on where we are. In the winter most of the eyes are holding in deeper holes in the Arm and on humps out on the main river. 1/2 and 5/8 oz jigs are also standard fair.
